Need to see a doctor: It could be he ate too fast. If you worry about allergy, you should see your doctor and he/she could run some test for it.

Yes he can be.: Yes he can be allergic to watermelon. If it is true allergy i would expect itchy mouth, rash around the mouth or all over body, nausea, or abdominal pain usually within minutes to couple hours. A simple skin test or blood test will confirm the watermelon allergy at a local allergist's office.
